2023 is fast approaching. Do you feel ready for something new?
Posted on December 28, 2022 by Richard Van Der Spuy, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
It can be paralyzing when at a crossroads in life and faced with a significant change, the solution is quite simple not necessarily easy but simple.
As we approach the end of another year, what are the big challenges in the coming year that are top of mind? A new position, a new job, a new business or trying to figure out what the next move is?
When confronted with a significant transition, it can feel like starting from scratch. You can feel aimless and insecure around whether or not the right decision has been made or what the right decision is.
You can have deep uncertainty about how to move forward or a lack of clarity on the next steps. It can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling powerless and desperate. It’s like being dropped in the middle of the ocean without a lifeboat and no land in sight.
BUT… it’s just your old lizard brain playing tricks on you!
It’s job is to keep you safe.
Change is very risky… In the old world where you may get eaten…
But in this world, if you find out what drives you and get clarity on your next move… change is easy,,,
This is just part of it though, you will also need the right perspectives and attitude in order to make the most of whatever new world you’re stepping into. For me it always comes back to one simple principle and that is: emotional fitness.
If you’re not taking control of your emotional state on a daily basis, your emotional state will be in control of you. Making a practice of moving towards the things you want more of, will get you more of those things and build resilience in having that sense of direction.
What are you focusing on when you’re getting overwhelmed with the details of your transition? Fear of failure? Fear of being judged? Fear of getting it wrong? Not feeling like you’re good enough or effective enough? Not being sure if you can do it?
Life can rapidly lose its quality of purpose and seem pointless when we get stuck in these fears. The truth is, everything you want is on the other side of your fears. More FREEDOM, more CLARITY, better RESULTS and a deeper sense of PURPOSE and POWER in your own life.
We have a tendency to think that it takes time for a significant change to take place in our lives but the truth is it happens in a moment. The moment you make a decision, the moment you commit, IT ALL CHANGES.
There are no wrong or right ways, there are just degrees of negative and positive consequences based on our ability to discern a way forward but no one can predict the future so there can never be 100% certainty.
The one and only place there can be total certainty, where certainty needs to be cultivated, is within yourself. Add to that the willingness to fail a lot, with that foundation, you can conquer anything and do anything you set your mind to. Because then there is no failure, there is just learning evolving and growing which is the foundation of any success. The only true failure is giving up.
Emotional fitness… practice makes perfect. Not really, but practice does create certainty. I help my clients understand what it is they need to practice and what their driving needs are, with that knowledge they can become unstoppable.
